Snowboard Program

This is a new six-week program that the Middlebury Ski Club is very excited to unveil this February and March. The small, pilot program will run every Saturday between February 17th and March 23rd from 9:00am-2:30pm.

Since this is a first-year program, enrollment will be limited to just ten (10) riders. If there is great interest in this pilot program, we will look to expand it further next season.

This program will focus on developing all-mountain riding skills and introduction of race gates to develop edge control and perhaps spark some interest in SL, GS or boardercross racing.

Prerequisites for participation in the MSC Snowboard Program include:

  • Athletes should be of intermediate to advanced skill level.
  • The ability to ride expert terrain independently (at the Snowbowl this would include the Allen and Cameron).
  • Athletes should be able to: One-foot kick/glide (such as in lift-line), slide slip on both toe and heal edges, ride on flat surfaces, traverse across a slope on one edge.
  • Athletes must be able to ride the lift on their own without assistance.
  • Athletes must be able to act independently during lunch and inside breaks.
  • Athletes must be able to manage their own equipment and clothing needs. (Coaches are available to help, but athletes must be self-advocates).
